A divorce coach will also help you get organized so that you can approach the legal process with dignity, clarity and allow the lawyers to advocate for you legally.

What does a recovery and transition coach do?
Once the divorce is finalized, many feel unsure of what’s next. Your relationship with your divorce coach can continue past the signing of the divorce and into your new life, helping you rediscover yourself, redefine yourself and find your full potential for the next chapter. Coaching also spans well into the new world of co-parenting with an ex and support is almost always needed, and there for you when you need it!
Isn’t a divorce coach just another therapist?
Most definitely not! Divorce coaches are thinking partners who know the boundaries between coaching and therapy. Therapy is designed to uncover and recover from your experiences, where coaching helps you discover your future. Coaches partner with you, helping you shift perspective, act as a guide along the way, and help you stay focused on the goals and ultimate outcomes you desire.
anytime my ex and I have contact, we end up fighting. what do i do?
Having conversations when you’re emotionally charged is so difficult, and can be about the simplest of things. Learn ways to calm yourself and respond to only what you need to (including leaving the defence in the dust!) so you can live peacefully despite your ex.
I feel so lost when the kids are gone to their other parent’s place.
It is never easy when you’re so used to being a full time parent. Now, your family has changed, and you have time on your hands you haven’t had before. A divorce coach can help you find what it is that YOU like to do and discover a new way of living. Some say that divorced people have it best – let’s help you get there.
my friends say I should start dating. I don’t even know where to start or if I am ready.
Unsolicited advice from friends and family is always fun to deal with, especially when it comes to what’s next after divorce. A divorce coach can help you decide and discover if and when you are ready for what the next stage of life looks like for YOU.
I can’t even respond to texts without getting so angry and defensive. I can’t live on this rollercoaster anymore.
Learning to diffuse your emotions before responding takes coaching and practice. When you are emotionally charged, it is never the right time to respond to a text, even if it is unreasonable. Learning how and when to respond is key to maintaining your inner peace and dignity.

Transition time is challenging for everyone. Can you imagine having to go back and forth between houses? Empathy is key in these situations, and really understanding each child’s needs when they transition.
